“Make sure your room and balcony are above the palm trees so you can see the ocean!” (TheColoradoSmiths)

May 6, 2015

“All the rooms face the ocean, but the views from some of the lower levels may be obstructed by foliage. We loved the view from our room - #4, which is on the same level as rooms 1,2, and 3. Being around the mid level of the hotel our walk down the stairs to the beach wasn't too bad. The level above us with rooms 5,6,7 & 8 had the same walk.” (terriks)

“Higher rooms have more expansive views.” (129richardn)

“rooms up higher offer best views” (picaaso)

“The higher up the better the view, but all are good.” (44BC)

“All the rooms are terrific. If you want a kitchen, they have rooms with outdoor kitchens. You can get a room with a jacuzzi. The place feels like a beach resort but with nice amenities.” (sybil)

“Most rooms have a plunge pool for two looking on the ocean. Very enjoyable.” (luvagreatvacation)

Feb 10, 2015

“The higher the floor, the better the view. But, all rooms have a view so it probably doesn't matter that much.” (Flkmsclvr)

“All rooms have great views; lower level rooms will reduce need to climb stairs back up the hill.” (RockDr23)

Feb 1, 2015

“This is a hillside hotel so not for the mobility impaired...lots of stairs. Ask for a room where the AC unit is not next to the bed...the room will cool to your preferred temp before you freeze with the air blowing directly on you.” (Teresamea)

I stayed 2 nights in this lovely hotel on the hill overlooking Madera beach in Zihuatanejo. Loved the sea breeze and the views. The service is excellent, I received a late check out on my final day as a courtesy. The restaurant on the beach has great pizzas cooked on a wood fire and breakfast is fine too. The balconies...

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous giving a vibe of Old Mexico mixed with boutique touches like fresh hibiscus on your pillows. The staff are super friendly, and most speak at least some English. Each room has a private balcony and hot tub, along with a view of the ocean.

We spent 3 nights and loved it! If you can walk up stairs ( there is no elevator) you will love everything about this place!
It is on a hill overlooking the the z bay... On the edge, in the perfect location. Great pool, restaurant, service....
Love it!

Today is my last night here. I just told the lady that my flight is not until 4pm and she gave me late checkout no problem tomorrow. I have nothing but good things to say about this lovely hotel and staff. If you are looking for a big resort go to Ixtapa but if you looking for boutique with old...

We stayed in a balcony room facing the beach/waves. Lots of stairs to go down to the beach - loved the extra mini workout. Oversized jacuzzi tub on the balcony was fun and private. Service was great. Really enjoyed walking into town from the beach and shopping in the village was fun too. Very local feel. Not so touristy

Like you, I pored over reviews for places to stay in Zihuatanejo. We were looking for something affordable, but nice. I toyed with several hotels before choosing Hotel Aura del Mar. As my title suggests, we chose wisely. If you are teetering or tottering on a place, teeter no more. This is it! We loved the tender loving care the...

Beautiful property with friendly and accommodating staff with a well positioned location. We had the jr king with jacuzzi room number 2. The ac was cold and the bed was comfortable. The sitting area could easily be used as 2 twin beds and made for a nice chill spot while watching tv in the cool. The TV had probably 3...

My wife and I just completed a week long stay at Aura del Mar and recommend it wholeheartedly. Aura isn't a cookie cutter chain hotel. It's a nicer Mexican boutique hotel that attracts both Mexican and international guests. Every room has an amazing view of Zihuatanejo Bay, and it's location makes for either a quick walk into Zihuatanejo or taxi...

My husband and I have stayed twice at this hotel and will continue to return to the same wonderful location! Right on the beach with many local restaurants within walking distance. Wonderful staff and beautiful surroundings. If you want to really relax around the pool, in the restaurant or on the beach - this should be your next destination!!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. We had a room with jacuzzi over looking the water; a spectacular view. Overall we found this hotel to be excellent value for money.
Hotel also has a great pool with a small and fun water slide.
The hotel was right on the beach as well and it was an easy walk down a...
